Clap Rules At Juno Download

Review: This debut album from Fabrizio Mammarella's oddly-named Clap Rules trio offers a quirky, offbeat take on electrofunk that's hard to pin down. While there are distinct acid house, dub disco, Italo-disco, P-funk and synth-pop influences, for the most part Golden Hands offers a talkbox/vocoder-heavy fusion of Krystal Klear/Chromeo-ish 80s boogie revivalism and oddball Italian disco-pop. While that may seem on paper like a recipe for audio gorgonzola, it's actually rather splendid. Musically, there's an excellent balance between cheeky dancefloor funk, wonky electronic workouts and lazy, semi-Balearic synthscapes. As a result, the album simply flies by.
